Cen Fan now has a stable job, so he wants to find a house in the city. said hello to Liu Lei and stopped a taxi.

As soon as Cen Fan sat down, the driver handed him a cigarette and asked with a smile, "Little brother!" Where are you going? ”

Seeing the driver's enthusiasm, Cen Fan was stunned for a moment, then took the cigarette and asked, "Master!" Do you know where to find cheap homes for rent in the city? ”

"You want to rent a house?" The driver turned off the car, lit a cigarette and smoked it.

Cen Fan nodded, "There is such a plan, if you know, can you take me there?" I'll pay for the fare. ”

Seeing that Cen Fan wanted to rent a house, the driver didn't think about it, and said directly: "It turns out that he wants to rent a house!" You're asking the right question. ”

Originally, Cen Fan just asked casually, but he didn't expect him to really know. "Big brother! Can you take me over and have a look? Cen Fan took out a pack of unopened cigarettes, handed it to the driver, and said.

The driver was not polite, but smoked and said with a smile: "Okay!" I'm quite familiar with this landlord, I'll see if I can get her to give you less. ”

"Thank you very much!" Cen Fan thanked.

The driver started the car, waved his hand, signaled that he was not polite, and drove to the rented house.

The driver told Cen Fan that the house was in the center of the city, behind the old pedestrian street.

Cen Fan nodded, thinking in his heart, that place was not bad. Since the construction of the new pedestrian street, it has become much quieter. But that's exactly what he wants.

The king's feast is not far from the pedestrian street, only ten minutes by car.

"That's the building." The driver pointed to the building behind the old pedestrian street and said.

Cen Fan nodded, took out a hundred-yuan bill, and prepared to hand it to the driver.

"Don't rush yet! Wait until I park the car. After the driver found a place to park the car, he took the money in Cen Fan's hand, then took out a wad of change from his pocket and gave it to Cen Fan.

Cen Fan waved his hand, "No need! And I'm sorry you could take me there! ”

The driver smiled and said seriously, "You've already thanked me." As he spoke, he took out the pack of cigarettes and shook it in front of Cen Fan. Then he handed the change to Cen Fan.

The driver's behavior immediately made Cen Fan have a good impression. Seeing that he insisted on finding money, Cen Fan had no choice but to accept the money. "That's fine! When it's done, I'm thanking you. ”

"Let's talk about it!" After speaking, he took Cen Fan to the inside.

The two walked until the end of the old pedestrian street, then walked through an alley, and when they came out of the alley, they saw a small five-story building.

The driver took Cen Fan into the first floor, pointed to the innermost room in the passage as he walked, and said to Cen Fan: "That room is the landlord's residence."

When he came to the door, the driver knocked on the door and shouted, "Third aunt! At home? ”

"Who!" An old lady's voice came from inside the room.

"Third aunt! I'm Xiao Li, and someone wants to rent a house. ”

As soon as the driver finished speaking, he heard slow footsteps in the house, and after a while, the door opened. A white-haired old lady with glasses looked at the two and said, "Come in!" With that, he walked into the house.

"Sit down, I'll pour you some water."

"Third aunt! Don't bother. The driver hurriedly said.

The old lady smiled, "No trouble! You sit down first. With that, he walked to the kitchen.

"Little brother, sit down!" The driver said to Cen Fan.

Cen Fan nodded, sat on the sofa, and asked in a low voice, "Does the third aunt usually live alone?"

"Yes! Speaking of which, she is also a poor person. The driver turned his head to look at the kitchen and whispered, "The third aunt was originally very happy." It's a pity that it ...... later"

"Ahem!" Cen Fan suddenly interrupted the driver's words, "Let's go out and talk about it!" ”

The driver understood, nodded, stood up and greeted the old lady. "Third aunt! Let me do it! With that, he took the kettle from her hand.

The old lady sat on the wooden chair opposite the two, looked at Cen Fan, and asked, "Young man!" Are you going to rent a house? ”

Cen Fan responded: "Yes! Do you have any spare houses here? ”

"Yes!" The old lady smiled kindly, "The seventh floor is not rented yet. The old lady stood up again and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go get the key."

After a while, the old lady handed a bunch of keys to the driver and said, "Xiao Li! You take him up there first. ”

"Okay!" The driver took the key and said to Cen Fan: "Let's go!" Go up and have a look. ”

Walking out of the house, Cen Fan asked about the old lady again.

The driver told Cen Fan, "The third aunt originally had a son, and her life was quite happy, but two years ago, her wife and his son's family of three passed away one after another. ”

Hearing about the old lady, Cen Fan couldn't help but feel sorry. At the same time, he felt strange that four of a family of five died in two years, which is too coincidental!

"That's it." The driver turned around and said to Cen Fan.

"Oh! Good. Cen Fan came back to his senses and quickly chased after him.

The driver walked to the first door and stopped, looked at Cen Fan and said, "There are two suites on this floor, but the third aunt is only willing to rent out this suite." She doesn't seem to have rented out another apartment, and she doesn't know why. ”

"I really don't know what the third aunt thinks, if you don't rent an empty house, it's a waste!" The driver muttered as he opened the door.

Cen Fan ignored the driver and walked alone to the door of the house in the passage. I listened carefully with my ear to the door, but I didn't hear anything strange.

"You come in and see if you're satisfied." The driver turned back and shouted at Cen Fan.

"Good!" Cen Fan answered and walked back to the driver's side.

The driver was just about to take Cen Fan into the house, when the fluorescent lights on the walkway suddenly went out.

"What's the power outage?" The driver stopped and said to Cen Fan behind him: "It seems that I can only come back tomorrow." With that, he exited the room and pulled the door open.

"Woooooo As they were about to leave, they heard a woman's cry from the room at the end of the passage, and the voice sounded very miserable.

"It's... How could there be anyone in there?! The driver pulled out his lighter and prepared to go over and find out.

"Don't move!" Cen Fan pulled the driver back. Then he took out a red candle from the Qiankun bag, lit it, and said, "Give me the key, you go down first."

"What are you going to do?" The driver asked, puzzled. However, he still handed the key to Cen Fan. But he didn't leave.

Seeing that the driver had no intention of leaving, Cen Fan had no choice but to say, "Either you wait for me on the stairs."

"Bump!" As soon as Cen Fan's words fell, he heard the door inside open, and the door slammed into the wall.

"Don't come along, I'll take a look." After speaking, without waiting for the driver to respond, Cen Fan walked over cautiously.
